NO PAP SMEARS AFTER FIFTY

Rationale for stopping cervical screening in

women over 50 by Wijngaarden in the April 1993

issue ofthe British MedicalJournal 306967 found All

women over 50 with an adequate history of negative

results on smear testing every three years may be safely

discharged from further screening if these findings are

confirmed in other populations They studied womenwith cancer of the cervix diagnosed between 1989 and

1990 in Scotland Most cancerous changes occurred in

women younger than 45 years 711 cases vs 38 cases in

women over 45 Of the women over 50 only 26 cases

were found and they had not had adequate previous PAP

smear testing

COMMENTPapanicolaou smears commonly known as PAP

smears are part of routine vaginal examination used to

detect precancerous and cancer cells Cells are scraped

with small wooden stick from womans uterine cervix

and smeared on glassslide for examination under

microscope after stain is applied that enhances the

characteristics of the cells

Preventive guidelines from the American Col

lege of Physicians the Canadian Task Force on the

Periodic Health Examination and other well-know

authorities recommend women have PAP smears performed every to years after negative annual exams

Ann Intrn Med 114758 1991 Testing every year in

otherwise healthy women offers no survival benefit over

testing every years However prolonging the interval

to once every to 10 years reduces protection from

cancer death Br MedJ 293659 1986Detection and treatment of precancerous lesions

ofthe cervix has reduced the risk of dying from cancer of

the cervix The secret to success is to find the disease

before it actually becomes cancer Once it has all the

qualities of cancer especially the tendency to invade

surrounding tissues and enter blood vessels then this

disease cannot be successfully treated in most cases

DIET AND SKIN CANCER

Effect of low-fat diet on the incidence of actinic

keratosis by Homer Black in the May 1994 issue of

the New England Journal of Medicine 3301272found low-fat diet reduced the incidence of

precancerous skin lesions known as actinic keratosis

group of 76 patients were split in two The control

group ate diet containing 40 percent of the calories

as fat The experimental group attended eight weekly

classes on low-fat eating and followed fat-reduced

diet of 20 percent fat The number of new actinic

keratosis over the next years averaged 10 for the

high-fat group and only for the low-fat group By the

end of years those on the high-fat diet had times more

lesions occurring every months than those on low-fat

regime Those on the low-fat diet not surprisingly lost

weight during the study

Cancer growth is believed to be influenced by both

calories and the fat in the diet However the authors

believed the reduction in formation of keratosis was

due to the change in fat not due to reduction in

calorie intake

COMMENTThe word actinic relates to chemically active rays of the

electromagnetic spectrum sunlight Exposure of the

skin to excessive sunlight especially in fair-skinned

people causes damage Following long-term damage

from sunlight yellowish hard plaques called actinic

keratosis commonly develop on exposed skin These are

premalignant lesions Estimates suggest 1% to 25% of

these actinic keratosis will eventually turn into skin

cancer However it may take 10 years for this transfor

mation to occur In animal experiments high-fat diets

increase the likelihood of skin cancer developing after

exposure to ultraviolet radiation Many common can

cers such as cancer of the breast prostate and colon are

believed to be caused in part by highfat diet

Fat is only one of the components of rich foods that is believed to encourage the development ofcancer The rich

American diet is also high in animal protein which

suppresses our cancer-fighting immune system Anti

cancer substances such as dietary fiber phytates phyto

estrogens antioxidants and vitamins are low in the

American diet

If scientists really believe healthy diet can prevent cancer

and even change the course of cancers already growing

then why reduction to only 20% fat The excuse

commonly given for these moderate recommendations

is eating any stricter would be too difficult for most

Americans But we all know thats not true It is just as

easy to change to starchbased diet with 7% of the

calories aS fat loaded \Vith all the other components

that fight cancer as to change to diet of 20 fit diet

Since health resources are not unlimited early detec

years she can safely stop has ing PAP smears after the

age of 50 Other excuses such as early detection of

cancer of the ovamies for having routine examinations

in older women are not valid because early detection

EAR TUBES OFTEN INAPPROPRIATE

The medical appropriateness of tympanostomy

tubes proposed for children younger then 16 years in the

United States by Lawrence Kleinman April 1994 issue

Journal of the American Medical Association JAMA2711250 found 1/4 of ear tube insertions were done for

inappropriate reasons and another 1/3 for equivocal

reasons 6611 children from ear nose and throat doctors

otolaryngologists in 49 were states studied

Tubes are usually inserted in attempt to reduce

frequency of ear infections and hearing loss that mayoccur with inflammation of the middle ear by drainage/

ventilation of middle ear Tubes are appropriately used

when there is bacterial infection with pus accumulation

and drainage is necessary to fight infection Appropriate

indications included continuing evidence of infection

fever ear pain and redness of ear drum despite appro

priate antibiotic therapy acute infection of mastoid

bone acute infection with pus of inner ear and brain

abscess When the ear problem was simplyaccumulation

of fluid within the middle ear behind ear drumcondition known as otitis media with persistent effusion

then tube insertion was considered inappropriate

When there was no recent ear infection or if

there was no trial of prolonged antibiotic treatment

known as antibiotic prophylaxis then treatment with

tubes was considered inappropriate

With frequent recurrent infections and one epi

sode of infection while on prophylactic antibiotics

treatment benefits were considered equivocal benefits

and risks about equal When disease of the ear was

chronic then treatment was also considered to be of

equivocal benefit

The authors state they doctors could virtually

eliminate inappropriate tympanoplasty tube placement

in children with recurrent acute otitis media and/or otitis

media with effusion by deferring surgery inuncomplicated

cases until either an effusion persists through course of

antibiotics and at least 90 days of watchful waiting or

until child with frequently recurrent episodes has

recurrence while on antibiotic prophylaxis

Common complications of tube insertions in

clude prolonged drainage of the ear holes in the ear drum

that wont close and scarring of the ear drum which maybe associated with permanent hearing loss

COMMENT

Inflammation of the middle ear known as otitis

media affects two-thirds of American children by years

of age This is the most common illness of children and

the second most common diagnosis in medicine The

initial therapy prescribed by most doctors is antibiotics

However the use of antibiotics is controversial and is

probably of no benefit in most cases BrMedJ 3001005

1990 Lancet 2883 1981 About 85% ofchildrenwill

be free of pain within 24 hours irrespective of whether

they were treated with antibiotics or not

Approximately 670000 ear tube surgeries are

performed each year on children making this the most

common operation in children Parents are often intimi

dated into the surgery by the doctors threats that their

child will permanently lose hearing and develop

language difficulties later in life Otitis media is not the

cause of language or learning disorders and the hearing

impairment is temporary in almost all cases Br Med

293713 1986You should be asking why the majority of

children in our country have recurrent ear infections Is

this some kind of defect in their design Of course not

Allergic reactions primarily due to cows milk proteins

cause the eustachian tubes that connect the throat with

the middle ear to swell closed preventing draining of

fluids from the middle ear Stagnant fluid accumulating

in the middle ear provides perfect growth medium for

bacteria which cause painful ear infection

Other food protein like egg beef wheat and

corn and substances in the surrounding environment

such as molds and dust can be the source of the allergic

reactions that close the eustachian tube But at the top of

the list to remove from your childs diet are foods with

dairy proteinskim milk cheese whey ice cream

LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS SUPPLEMENTSBy Ray Gordon

Acidophilus is one of the types of beneficial lactobadil

lus bacteria normally found in the digestive tract Althoughthe word bacteria is usually associated with disease or

infection it should be understood that there are many kinds

of bacteriasome beneficial and some harmful Lactoba

cillus bacteria are some of the most useful to the bodys

normal functioning and they play an important role in

maintaining good health

The Role of Lactobacilli

The term acidophilus is often used in broad sense to

refer to any one of several types ofLactobacilli lactic-acid

forming bacteria Since more than one of these types of

bacteria are useful to man it is important to distinguish

between them to better understand the benefits

Lactobacillus The genus name of type of beneficial

bacteria some species of which are normally found in the

human intestine Certain lactobacillus species are known to

promote good health by helping to control harmful micro

organisms and by aiding digestion

acidophilus An important normal inhabitant of adult

human intestines Some strains produce natural antibiotic

and aid digestion especially of lactose milk products

There are over 200 identified strains each with differing

strengths

casel type of bacteria with at least three major

subspecies It is normal intestinal inhabitant in adults

subspecies casel subsp rharnnosus produces natural

antibiotics has good antibiotic resistance and good growth

characteristics It is the most commonly used acidophilus

supplement in Europe

bifidus type of bacteria found in the intestines of

infants and young children May be found in small

quantitites in adults Recently reclassified by some as

Bifidobacterium bifidum

bulgaricus type of bacteria usually used in yogurt

cultures Not normal inhabitant of the intestines unless

yogurt is eaten regularly acidophilus is ucti used in

commercial yogurt Certain straitis produce at least one

natural antibiotic

Other forms ofLactobacillus are used for such functions

as cheesemaking and curing sausage but they are not

normal inhabitants of the intestines

What are Friendly Bacteria

Mankind lives in complex world of requiring thousands

of interactions with his environment daily Some of these

work to his benefit and may be necessary for life Others

work to mans detriment The key to successful living and

good health is to keep balance that accentuates the

beneficial interactions and controls the negative ones

Mankind has symbiotic relationship with the maj or forms

of lactic bacteria in which two dissimilar organisms live

together on mutually beneficial basis Lactobacillus

microorganisms are primarily found on the mucus membranes especially in the intestines and the vagina There

they benefit from the proper environment and nutrients

required for their growth

How Do They Benefit Humans

Lactobacillus microorganisms compete for space and

nutrients with other types of harmful or pathogenic

microogranisms and prevent them from gaining foothold

Lactobacillii also perfom number of activities beneficial to

human nutrition Experts recommend normal flora microorganisms in the intestines should be 85% Lactobacillus

and only 15% Coliform and other types

Diet and medical antibiotics impact the Lactobacillus

balance greatest Lactobacillus microorganisms prefer

slightly acid environment Diets high in processed foods

and meats tend to produce an alkaline environment favor

ing pathogenic bacteria at the expense of Lactobacillus

Diets high in sugars encourage growth of yeasts and other

harmful bacteria that compete with Lactobacillus

Antibiotics kill harmful bacteria they are meant to but

also kill many necessary beneficial bacteria too Whenantibiotic treatment ends the most adaptive and opportunistic microorganisms repopulate first often at the expense

of the beneficial bacteria Lactobacillus acidophilus

supplement should be taken along with antibiotics and for

several weeks after treatment ends to ensure the replace

ment of the friendly bacteria

Ray Gordon has B.S in business from Brigham Yomig University and an MBA

from Stanford He has spent 15 years in Product Development and Marketng in the

Food Industry and the lastyears filling such functions in the Health Food

Supplement Industry

McDougalls Comment Lactobacillus acidophillus has been

shown to have variety of human health benefits Ann Med

2237 1990 One of the best ways to have plentiful supply of

these helpful bacteria in your colon is to be vegetarian Meat

eating encourages growth of harmful bacteria that replace lacto

bacillus Do not rely on dairy products as source of this bacteria

because of the many health hazards associated with these foodsfood allergy childhood diabetes arthritis and heart disease

These bacteria can be bought as pills if you feel you need more

than you grow on healthy diet
